Bug Description

Binary package hint: vorbis-tools

vorbiscomment uses a fixed-length 1024-byte buffer for reading comments from the user. Any comments longer than 1023 bytes cause an error or are silently split (depending on content). This means that vorbiscomment cannot be used to add album artwork to Vorbis files using the COVERART tag.

I have reported this upstream, with a patch, at https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1259

* vorbiscomment: support for creation of long comments

Sid already have updated it: http://packages.debian.org/sid/vorbis-tools

Too late for a merge?
